Baby Proof Stairs!

Well would ya look at that? We've got handrails on the stairs!! I actually made myself somewhat useful, and I helped W assemble the rails. We still need to get some baseboard trim up that will cover the sides of the stairs, but I wasn't patient enough to wait for the weekend when they'll probably go up.


I'm not sure if it was because of all the activity around the stairs this weekend, but Baby J is now very interested in the stairs. Yesterday he went up 2 steps, and back down. Tonight, with me spotting him, he climbed all the way to the top. Luckily, I bought a gate for the top of the stairs last weekend. J thinks that the gates around the house are there for the sole purpose of his enjoyment. He grabs them and dances.

Also tonight he finally figured out how to drink from a sippy cup. Until now, he only wants to drink from my cup, and I envisoned very messy days ahead if he only wanted to drink from a big boy cup. But it looks like he'll give the spill free sippy cup a try!
